Join the Cloud Security Virtual Summit on December 2, 2026, a focused virtual event from CyberRisk Alliance for cybersecurity, IT, and information security practitioners navigating the challenges of securing multi-cloud environments, managing cloud exposures, and protecting critical data and workloads across increasingly complex cloud infrastructures.
As organizations expand their cloud environments, security teams face growing challenges in maintaining consistent security controls, managing misconfigurations, and securing identities, data, and workloads across multiple cloud providers. This eSummit explores how organizations can establish unified security policies, improve cloud visibility and risk management, strengthen identity and access controls, and build more resilient cloud security programs.
Through expert keynotes and panel discussions, attendees will gain practical strategies to implement consistent security guardrails across cloud platforms, leverage continuous posture monitoring to identify and prioritize exposures, reduce misconfiguration risks, and strengthen identity, data, and workload protection to prevent cloud-native breaches. Participants can also engage with leading solution providers and earn valuable CPE or CEU credits with full attendance.

A Cyber event becomes a business crisis when the potential consequences extend beyond technology and begin impacting the business, affecting customers, operations, revenue, reputation, regulatory obligations, and strategy.
A common misperception is that responding to a cyber attack is purely an IT security problem. To be effective, two parallel but interdependent disciplines must operate together: Technical IT Incident Response – managing the cyber attack and technical recovery efforts, and Crisis Management – managing the business impact and coordinating the full response.
Rather than talking about cyber incidents, we put the audience in the middle of one...
We facilitate an interactive Cyber Crisis Exercise where attendees become the decision-makers during a rapidly unfolding cyber crisis. Through live polling, audience participation, and real-time discussion, members help determine how the organization responds. Every choice changes how the scenario unfolds.
Think of it as a live, immersive "choose your own adventure" experience for cyber incident response.
Participants will face the same decisions executives and response teams encounter during a real cyber event:
Because the audience controls the outcome, no two sessions are exactly alike. The format keeps attendees engaged throughout the event while providing practical insights into cybersecurity, crisis leadership, business continuity, and risk management.
This format works particularly well because it appeals to both technical and business professionals. Experienced practitioners can debate strategy, while business leaders gain a firsthand understanding of the decisions that drive successful incident response.

Join the AI’s Next Generation Virtual Summit on December 16, 2026, a focused virtual event from CyberRisk Alliance for cybersecurity, IT, and information security practitioners responsible for securing emerging AI technologies, managing risks associated with autonomous systems, and strengthening governance as AI becomes increasingly integrated into enterprise operations.
As organizations move beyond AI copilots toward autonomous agents capable of making decisions and executing complex workflows, security teams face growing challenges in managing new attack surfaces, securing non-human identities, and maintaining visibility and accountability across AI-driven systems. This eSummit will explore how organizations can prepare their security programs for agentic AI, strengthen identity and access controls, establish effective governance frameworks, and balance AI innovation with enterprise security requirements.
Through expert panels and presentations, attendees will gain practical insights into identifying and mitigating risks associated with autonomous AI agents, implementing identity governance and access controls for non-human identities, strengthening monitoring and policy enforcement, and developing operational AI governance programs that align security, privacy, risk, and compliance objectives. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore emerging AI security solutions and earn CPE or CEU credits with full attendance.
Topic: Authority, Not Isolation: Sovereign AI You Can Prove
Drawing on new research in kernel-level agent monitoring and trusted model environments, plus open attestation standards, this talk shows how to prove which model ran, on which data, under which policy, without exposing that data. Then it shows how to enforce guardrails that hold across models and agentic frameworks.
Presenter: Giorgio Natili, Senior Director, Head of AI Engineering (Oracle Cloud Support)
